What came very near ending in tragedy
| occurred near Alghins postofice, Rock

Elliott, young lady of prepossessing ap
pearance, and life long resident Of this
nelghborhood, hearing that one DaYid

Ting reports. rejecting upon her chastity,
procured a revolver and started for a field
where he was working, mile or more dis

try store and purchased three cartridges.
Teaching the field, she charged him with
the offence. He gave for hisauthority the
names of two men, mile or more away
She started Immediately for them, and
they denying the charge, she induced them
to accompany her back to the fence en-
closing the field where Clark was working.
They refused to go any further. Leaving
them waiting, she again went to CLARK and
asked him to come before the men and clear
up the matter. This he positively refused
to do, when she fired two shots at him, the
second grazing the side of his neck under
the left ear. He then started tOrun when
she hastily loaded another chamber Of her
revolver and again fired at him as he ian,
but missed him. No arrest has yet been
made. The incident has caused a good
deal of excitement in this quiet place.
The result will no doubt be suit for SLAM

Sad Death.
[From the esprit of the Valley


A large concourse Of persons were called
| together on the Both of last month, to pay
the last tribute of respect to Mrs. Bell.
| wife of DR.. VIM. Bell, of Mt. Sidney. Her
maiden name was Huston. sister-in- law of
Mr Algernon Eflinger of Harris onburg and
also Of DR.. Geo. Walker, present physician
at the w. l.. Asylum. Staunton. This
death was productive of the saddest scenes
that we have ever Witnessed around the
coffin stood the bereaved father and eleven
heart broken children. six Of whom are
under the age of IA. To look upon scene
like this, and not have every chord of sym
pathy aroused, surely must be inhuman.-
Mrs. Bell was kind and obliging neigh
Dor. a loving mother, devoted christian
and wife. But her life's work was done,
the harvest was ended, and the Lord in
gathering up his sheaves, chose to release
this kind lady of her suffering. During
her illness she bore her Affections without
a murmur or complaint. but resting on the
strong arm OF faith, she waited with pa
thence to hear the call of ''well done, thou
good and faithful servant.' Whilst she
leaves large family Of children, we feel
sure that she has instilled such principles
OF right into their young bosoms, that the
rough storms OF adversely will never oblit-
crate, but will be a beacon light that will
ever direct their banks from the rocky coast |
OF despair, so that when they shall be call
ed to follow one by one they may safely |
land on that Evergreen Shore. and there |
form, as it was here, an unbroken family. |
Mrs. Bell, for the past twelve months, |
had been III quite delicate health, but sew !
eral weeks ago was thought to be much
better, and went to spend short while |
with her sister, residing in Staunton,
thinking that change would be for the
better. There she was taken quite i'll on
the 18th, and died on the 2Sth. Her body
was moved to her home. The funeral SER
vices, which were appropriate and consol-
ing, were held at the house, after which I
her body was conveyed to Augusta Church
Cemetery for burial. There it seemed
that her grave was to be made damp with
tears, and bright by the many beautiful
Wreathes of flowers, all of which were pure
white. which SO truly represented her
Christian character and daily walk through
life. From this spot the soTrowing family
turned homeWard, there to find a mothers
chair vacant and happy home made SAD
And 1T seems that we can almost hear the
words uttered
Dearest mother, thou hast left u.s.
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tbs God that hath bereft us,
lie can all our sorrow heal
Y ct again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
Then In heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed
The bereayed husband and family have
the sincere sympathy of all who knew her.
